Chapter 230: Went to the Marquis Fu and Mooched a Meal

Qin Lang was at Rong Wang Fu, playing with Rong Yang.

Hearing that the An Yuan Marquis's heir had gone to Qin Yan Marquis Fu to find him again, Qin Lang froze: "Isn't that good?"

"Going to set up a stall?" Rong Yang asked.

Qin Lang said proudly: "I don't need to set up a stall."

Rong Yang: "..."

So annoying!

"I'm going back to the manor to check." Qin Lang called out to Qin Bi and Rong Yang: "Come along."

Rong Yang hurriedly trotted to the study to find the Rong heir.

The child went quickly and returned quickly; the little dumpling Rong Yang parroted: "Mother, Father said it's fine to go, just bring the younger brother."

Qin Bi knew the Rong heir never took a loss; every time she took Rong Yang but not the younger one, the Rong heir minded. She said: "The An Yuan Marquis's heir has evil attached to him; Rong Yang is too young to suppress the evil."

Rong Yang ran to tell the Rong heir. Upon hearing there was evil, the Rong heir waved his hand and let it be.

Qin Yan Marquis Fu had no shortage of things for Rong Yang. They went as soon as they said so. Qin Bi got into the carriage, Qin Lang held Rong Yang, and Qin Lang felt puzzled, pondering in his mind. Not understanding, he chatted idly with Qin Bi.

"Sister." Qin Lang ate a fruit, gave one to Rong Yang, who held it and gnawed on it. Qin Lang said: "If before, the An Yuan Marquis's heir's second aunt had evil on her, she broke her arm and suffered, which counts as expelling the disaster, why is the An Yuan Marquis's heir coming to find me again?"

The An Yuan Marquis's heir coming to find Qin Lang meant nothing else; he must be possessed by evil again.

Logically, the An Yuan Marquis's heir should have been unable to bear seeing his second aunt for no reason before. Since nothing happened, it must have been some omen. His second aunt broke her arm, which should have expelled the evil qi, so the An Yuan Marquis's heir should have recovered.

Qin Bi watched the common people in plain clothes walking outside the carriage, drew back her gaze, and smiled: "Do you really think the An Yuan Marquis's heir's second aunt had a disaster on her, so the An Yuan Marquis's heir sensed it, and only because he was weak did he feel unwell seeing her?"

Qin Lang was confused; he had always thought so: "Isn't it because of that?"

He hissed, then remembered something that flashed through his mind when the low-grade half-immortal power was bestowed upon him: the An Yuan Marquis's heir and this second aunt went back and forth to soak up good fortune.

No need to guess blindly now. Qin Bi knew the reason. She smiled and said: "Do you think your low-grade half-immortal power is a useless ability? Although it is very useless, as long as your half-immortal ability can exert even a tiny bit of power, it is enough to cause a backlash."

"What do you mean?" Qin Lang forgot to eat the fruit he was holding.

"The An Yuan Marquis's heir came to you to read his fortune, and you cast a spell on him." Qin Bi found it amusing, her smile bright: "Someone was dishonest. Sometimes the half-immortal power will deal with her. Breaking her arm was likely the backlash."

Qin Bi said ambiguously: "She deserved this disaster."

Qin Lang understood: "The An Yuan Marquis's heir's second aunt had ill intentions?"

Qin Bi fell silent. As they spoke, the carriage arrived outside Qin Yan Marquis Fu. Qin Bi got out, followed by Qin Lang and Rong Yang. Qin Yan and Qin Jue and others walked out of the marquis fu.

"Qin Lang, you went to Rong Wang Fu to play again?" a concubine-born daughter of the marquis fu asked.

"Yes." Qin Lang glanced at them: "Going to Xue Wang Fu?"

Everyone agreed. Qin Yan took the opportunity to say: "Are you going? Sister Qin He has been kind to us. She is ill; we should visit her often to avoid chilling Sister Qin He's heart."

Qin Lang stepped into the manor: "No time; I'm busy."

Qin Bi followed. Qin Yan called out to stop her: "Is Sister Qin Bi going?"

"No." Qin Bi refused.

Qin Yan pouted. Not caring about any bond at all, too cold and unkind. Sister Qin Bi was far inferior to Sister Qin He. Sister Qin He, even as the heir's wife, didn't put on airs.

The two groups exchanged greetings; one group entered the manor, the other left.

Qin Bi went first to the fourth household to ask Jiang Shi to go to the third household to watch the spectacle. Qin Lang returned to the third household and met the heir Qin Yan. Qin Yan laughed in frustration, then followed along to the third household to see how this boy was deceiving people.

The An Yuan Marquis's heir had been waiting long ago, his brow furrowed the whole time.

"Headache again?" Qin Lang asked.

The An Yuan Marquis's heir nodded: "I thought that since my second aunt had a disaster, I would be fine. Seeing she was fine, I went to my cousin's house several times these past few days. Today I almost broke down. Only then did I realize I'm possessed by evil again."

The room was hot, so tables and chairs were set up under a tree in the courtyard.

Qin Yan glanced at the An Yuan Marquis's heir, saw nothing unusual, and noted he didn't look listless. How could he be possessed? He was faking it. Qin Yan sat down while the young servant busied himself pouring tea for the guest.

The An Yuan Marquis's heir also took a seat, staring at Qin Lang: "Take a look at me. Am I possessed by evil again?"

Qin Lang originally wanted to keep deceiving, saying he was possessed even if he wasn't, to earn two monster crystals. But as he squinted and stared at the An Yuan Marquis's heir, in an instant, Qin Lang's heart skipped a beat.

Qin Lang panicked slightly, then pretended to be calm: "You are possessed by evil."

The An Yuan Marquis's heir gave up, his shoulders slumping: "Cast the spell."

This time, Qin Lang's spellcasting was different from the previous times. Qin Lang went to wash his hands first. Qin Bi, Jiang Shi, and Lin Shi came over. Rong Yang stayed in the fourth household with He Shi.

Qin Bi really didn't feel safe about that second aunt of the An Yuan Marquis's heir; the child was too weak.

Qin Lang wiped his hands clean, sat down, and leisurely picked out small crystals, examining them one by one. Qin Yan, Qin Bi, and Jiang Shi were somewhat speechless. Qin Lang took the opportunity to chat idly with the An Yuan Marquis's heir.

They didn't chat about anything else, only about the strange things happening lately.

Some things, after many occurrences, made the An Yuan Marquis's heir realize: "This second aunt of mine is not right. Our family has many people; when I go out to play, I see many people, but only when I see my second aunt do I feel unwell."

"You could just not let her come to your house," Qin Bi suggested from the side. "What does it mean that she insists on coming to your house? Logically, after so much time, your second aunt should know you feel unwell seeing her."

Someone who understood propriety would know not to go to someone's house if it caused harm.

The clan uncle accompanying the An Yuan Marquis's heir said: "His second aunt knows."

Qin Bi looked at the An Yuan Marquis's heir. He said: "This time, my second aunt broke her arm. When I returned from the medical hall, I told her. This injury counts as expelling the disaster; before, I felt unwell whenever I saw her."

His second aunt stayed home to recover. Hearing this, she said: "I see. That's why she kept avoiding me when she saw me."

With words said to this extent, it would be unreasonable to say she didn't know the An Yuan Marquis's heir couldn't bear seeing her. Besides, this time he came to find Qin Lang right in front of her.

Interestingly, after this second aunt returned home from the medical hall, the An Yuan Marquis's wife bustled about and politely said: "The kitchen at home has prepared a meal; go to the marquis fu to eat!"

Then, even with her arm injured, it didn't stop this second aunt from going to the marquis fu to mooch a meal.

Was she just going to eat?

The physician prescribed decoction medicine, which had to be taken with every meal. Was it proper to brew medicine and eat at a sister-in-law's house? This second aunt didn't feel it was inappropriate and accepted the service of the marquis fu's maids and nannies with a clear conscience.

When leaving, the medicine she took was left behind at the marquis fu.
